Episode 157 - DJ Chonz
We have a real treat for you this week! We sat down with Denver's very own - DJ Chonz! We talked about his early days building a name for himself in the Denver music scene, growing up in Colorado, working in radio, touring nationally & internationally, how he got started in education, why he built the Denver DJ Chonz Foundation, what it was like to DJ a private party for Dr. Dre, wrestling, and much much more! Buckle up kids, this is a good one. Below is an excerpt from DJ Chonz's website:
Today, with 30 years of experience, he's the most recognizable DJ in Colorado and surrounding states. Over the years, he led the station to No. 1 rankings in various categories, including afternoon and night hosts for the 18-34 demographic from 2009 to 2011 locally and nationally in 2012.
He's won numerous awards from Denver's alt-weekly Westword's "Best of …" issues, including Best Hip-Hop DJ, Best Denver Radio, and Best Online Radio show for a daily mix he streamed live on the internet. He was also awarded Best Afternoon Show from the Colorado Broadcast Awards in 2010.
DJ Chonz continues to dominate the nightclub scene with several weekly events in Denver. When he's not on the road or in the studio, giving back to the community is essential to DJ Chonz, especially when he can lead young people to find positive life direction through music. "There are many genres of music," Chonz says. "I am fortunate to be able to play all formats. This allows for growth as a person and as a DJ. A DJ's job is to cater to a crowd and play what's relevant to them. That's what I do."
Enjoy!

J-WALKERS APPAREL CO We are a new Colorado company that started from scratch! Just a couple of guys that wanted to start our own business in apparel but yearned to be different. The goal was to be unique and have something nobody else has. After finding countless pairs of jeans and pants that claimed to be "stretchy", but realistically had minimal stretch, we decided to maximize this concept and bring you our unique J-Walkers Original Pants. After nearly 2 years of working with different manufacturers and testing different fabrics, designs, and sizing, we made what we think are the perfect, truly stretchy, pants. We designed these to be for everyone! These were made So You Can Do You! You can wear them to work, school, the gym, the skatepark, clubbing, or WHEREVER! Men, women, it doesn't matter! You get the point, try us out, you won't be disappointed.
